Understanding a Screen
What a screen card represents in Digipal: its name, status, assigned content, Now Playing, and available controls.
Overview
A Screen in Digipal represents a Digipal player that has been paired with your account.
The physical display could be:
- a television;
- a commercial display;
- a menu board;
- a kiosk;
- a wayfinding display;
- another supported display configuration.
Screen Name
The Screen Name identifies the display inside your account.

Status
Each screen is shown as:
Online
or:
Offline
See Why Is My Screen Online or Offline?
Pairing Code
Each screen has a pairing code associated with it.
The code can also be used when searching My Screens.
Assigned Content
Assigned Content is what the screen normally plays.
Think of it as the screen's default content.
Now Playing
Now Playing tells you what currently has control of the display.
This can sometimes be different from Assigned Content.
See Assigned Content vs Now Playing.
Plan Information
A plan label may appear on the screen.
